Ok so lets start iff on a huge high for me. Ploughed along today and got everything done!
Started off getting that oil line on i had to stretch and the actuator. As seen in the pic below the actuator arm was just on the piss so had to re-adjust the holes till it found a comfortable position.

So once that was in it was a matter of making this c5 2.2 lower pipe fit. Was a matter of trim the turbo end and it went straight in. Now the turbo housing didnt have a nipple for boost pressure like ive seen on the stock gt15 so bought an aftermarket jobbie that fits in the side of the silicone

Once this was in was time to run the mbc lines up

Ive been having a few issues with gear links popping off so thought at this bought it was worth the investment into metal links. These have improved the throw no end on the gear stick and make it feel more supported.


So after everything shes on and running. Cars back together ready for the downpipe saturday. Also managed to solve the previous jusdder wuth another new drivers shaft!
Ive still got the minor issue of the turbo sat on the gear link bush but dont feel that bad. Tempted to bang it into a garage to let them drop the subframe for that one.

And one final wo. Whilst letting the off the jack i descovered my passanger sill has rotted through to the extend i can push the carpet on the inner

So this is to be the next major job... .
